I am not a coffee drinker (Lavazza is the local brand) but we enjoyed a green tea and a dairy free (oat) hot chocolate. We enjoyed drinking on the sunny sidewalk, with beautiful tables and gorgeous tableware and a careful server. Great experience!

Excellent choices of various coffee drinks, lattes, and teas. Located in the heart of Downtown. Great way to stop and take a break while walking and exploring the city.There are no sitting inside but small tables outside or you can get your coffee to go.Very nice! We ll be back

I love Aura! The staff is always friendly, and their coffee and food are both amazing. This morning I enjoyed a Nutella iced coffee, beautiful presentation and even better taste!

What a wonderful little place to grab coffee! This morning, I stopped over for some brunch (which was AMAZING!) and some matcha tea. I also order an expresso.It is important to state that the expresso was NOT BURNT. The beans smelt and tastes fresh and it was soooo wonderful! It reminded me of being in the Mediterranean. I haven’t had a good expresso like that in years!! And as for the matcha… it is high quality! If you know your matcha, you will love Allra’s.I am sure this place will remain a staple of beautiful Lancaster city for a long long time!

I have been here several times with friends and Ive had a few of there different specialty coffees. But I did get hooked on their Caramel Brulee! 😋 Ive had it hot and iced and its delicious both ways! Staff their is always friendly and welcoming. The walk-up window out front is very convenient.

I just left from there and the Iced Coconut Mocha I got was perfect as well as The Greek sandwich. Everything was so fresh and tasty! The owner and staff was very nice and accommodating. This place is a great way to start the morning.

We stopped by here visiting my brother, and the bakery has a very fresh-variety of delicious-baked goods. All sorts of muffins, and great great great COFFEE!!!! Best I’ve had in a long time. Very fast and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place. It’s got a nice feel and very cozy.

This is a great place to be a regular, thats for sure. The Turkish coffee is fantastic, the food is excellent, everything is reasonably priced and above all the location is very convenient.Nice ambiance, too, and the staff have always been really courteous, prompt and accommodating. Theyre also attentive, the manager (owner?) remembered me as a repeat customer like my second time back which was a couple of weeks after my first visit, so I felt really valued as an individual. Thats a pretty significant thing for a business, especially one that gets so much traffic.Moreover, looking at their menu, it looks like they add stuff somewhat regularly, so its not just the same old thing every time you go; theres some decent variety there.Aura is the place to go, so get on it!

Very friendly staff! Delicious coffee!

Super friendly staff and the Freddo Iced Espresso is one of my absolute favorite! Their pastries are delicious as well. This time around I tried the peanut butter and chocolate one- delicious! They have seating outside for you to enjoy your coffee and treats. It’s a must try! 🥰

Such a cute little coffee shop. The lavender latte was awesome, the perfect amount of coffee to sweet ratio. Staff was very helpful and friendly as well. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful location, delicious coffee and yummy baked goods. Topped off with super service.

Its the most convenient place to get coffee in the city.

Open during stay at home order!! One of two coffee shops with food that are open right now. The barista was very pleasant and thoughtful with her suggestions. Vegan friendly

Hands down one of the best places to get coffee in Lancaster City! Just a half block from Penn Square, they have a street facing window for quick and easy walkup ordering, and the coffee/espresso is always amazing. They also have a selection of sandwiches and pastries, and they are great as well. Certainly a hidden gem in Lancaster that you have to try!

Very nice people! Service was great even though I made a mess and spilled coffee everywhere. They were nice enough to fill the water bowl they had for dogs for us. Coffee was fresh and fantastic!

Tiny adorable coffee shop. Friendly service. The best latte Ive had in awhile. Google Maps will tell you this place is on Orange Street across from Wells Fargo. However they are actually located on Queen Street just across from Jimmy Johns.

Very friendly staff: George and Tina are exceptional. I visit almost daily for my RedEye and croissant. They serve hearty breakfast sandwiches, tempting lunch sandwiches, Greek and American pastries and muffins, and many delicious coffee, tea and smoothie concoctions. Most important to me: They are handicapped accessible.

Amazing quality and service! Best of the best out of all the coffee shops and cafes I’ve been to in the Lancaster PA area. I recommend anyone to aura if your in the mode for any type of coffee drink!!

So much quality variety in items, especially drinks, and the service is spectacular. One of a kind.

Absolutely amazing! The staff is so friendly and they went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. The food and coffee was amazing as well! Will definitely be returning!

Coffee is good, food needs work. Frozen French toast sticks that would have been 99 cents elsewhere were $7. Baked goods weren’t good at all... old and burnt. Get the coffee, skip the food.

Simple, cool little spot with superb service, tasty coffee, and scrumptious food.

Good espresso, kind staff. Id go here every day if I lived closer.

Love this place, in fact its my favorite coffee spot. Everything I have tried is wonderful, including the food. The red velvet latte is my favorite thus far. The staff is so sweet and attentive. Highly recommend!

Fantastic coffee and delicious food! Always love the house-made syrups and drinks.

I could see in person this being good but maybe not so much through grub hub or door dash. We ordered a couple items for breakfast and the items are something you could find in the bakery section of giant or in the freezer section. Maybe they dont make fresh and just repackage each night til sold. Either that or they give the mediocre stuff to the grub hub and door dash orders.

First and probably last time wondering from this restaurant. I ordered the Chicken Salad Wrap and it was hot. Imagine a hot chicken salad wrap; wilted veggies, runny mayo, soggy wrap. It was disgusting and I threw it away. Ive never heard of a warm chicken cranberry and walnut salad and really didnt need to taste it. The Turmeric latte was pretty good.

Definitely a must when visiting Lancaster and you’re in need of your morning coffee or a quick bite! They have the walk-up window which is extremely convenient when you want to continue on your morning walk by yourself your with your dog.

Passengers are travelers, and you should travel right around the block to this little gem. This is how espresso is done. Not only did they make it correctly they actually gave me a double shot when I asked for a double. It is annoying how many places give you 25% more and call it a double. They have added breakfast recently. As I was enjoying my drink the people I was with got annoyed how often I kept interrupting what ever story was being told to say wow this is really good Espresso

Best part of performing door dash? The opportunity to visit local businesses! If you need a “warm fuzzy” in the morning, stop by and see these guys. As soon as my “dashing” is done, I am headed back to their very convenient pick up window! Super clean store front and everything looked fresh and amazingly delicious! Give these guys a try, it will get your day off to an awesome start!

Not only does AURA serve a good product, but they literally personalize your experience. Can’t think of any other coffee shop where the employees actually remember your order, your name and your interests/job/family/etc etc.. If I could give 10 stars I would! This place is the real deal. George And Tina (the owners) are from Greece, giving this hip shop a European feel with their cute walk up window and Lavazza product line up. My favorite drink is the matcha latte with lavender- ceremonial matcha with oat milk and a house made lavender syrup 👌🏼 If you’re looking for a good coffee or tea, yummy bites and tip top service, AURA is your place.

Will never return. Frozen food being made clearly in the front of my face. Spinach pies, clearly frozen and out of a box . Not toMention my partner ordered a bagel And I seen it come out of a prepackaged frozen bag .. all for $28. What a rip off . Also the employee had no gloves on .

Fresh Lavazza coffee is served by a friendly barista. I keep coming back here for coffee when I visit downtown, Lancaster.

Small shop, Lavazza coffee...my favorite. Seating outside on sidewalk and inside hallway. While your there go next door for some Ramen soup at Issei Noodle.

If you havent tried a coffee and pastry from Aura, youre missing out! George, Tina and the team are friendly, kind and super knowledgeable about their handcrafted items. They are great at recommending delicious foods and drinks I may not think to try but always leave me wanting more. Truly, a Lancaster gem!

Delicious and fast, this little gem is perfectly situated on Queen street with an easy-access street side service window. Service is prompt and polite, and prices are very reasonable.

Quick service, cordial staff, yummy baklava made our morning.

Best espresso bar in Lancaster County! Great selections, fair pricing and the nicest staff around. A relaxing and comfortable environment to sit and enjoy your coffee or use their quick service window if youre on the run. The pastries are homemade and sinfully delicious. You MUST try the banana bread. I love this place!!!!

Friendly staff and owner. Great coffee

This is one of my go-to spots downtown for a quick snack and a cappuccino. They also have a limited but delicious food menu. Kind people, quick service, and you get to watch the street life.

Really excellent gelato & espresso, amazing together!

Best coffee in Lancaster City- hands down!

Iced Mocha Latte is heavenly!!

Lancaster is blessed with many great coffee shops, but Aura is one of my favorites. Their rotating menu of specialty and seasonal lattes are always such a creative and delicious way to mix up the caffeine run. Plus, it means a lot that George and Tina know who I am.If you’re exploring Lancaster’s downtown for the first time or looking for a quick place before work, Aura’s easy takeout window is hard to beat.

Quaint little espresso shop In downtown Lancaster. Walk-up window if your strolling around the historic center of the city or several bistro tables placed around the area leading up to and in Auras. George the owner brews a wonderful cup of expresso, great regular brewed coffee as well as a selection of baked goods. Complementary pizzelle with your beverage.

I get a coffee there almost every single day on break! Everyone is so kind and knows me and my order! Its also easily the best black coffee in the city (and the best price).

This is my favorite place to get coffee in Lancaster City! We stop in just about every Saturday on our way home from Central Market, and sometimes I treat myself during the week too. Love their walk up window in the mornings before work. The owners are SO nice, and service is always quick. I especially recommend their fresh banana bread or blueberry muffins to go along with your coffee!

This is the absolute BEST place to get a coffee/latte/espresso/etc in Lancaster! Tina & George are so thoughtful, always remember what I like👍 Dont forget to grab a snack - The gelato is great, coffeecake is to die for & I can NEVER say no to the macarons if they have em 😋 I really cant say enough good things about this place! We need to keep treasures like this coffeeshop in business - GO!!!!!

The golden milk latte was so luscious and delicious! Made from scratch by George- want to go back!

The matcha lavender latte is delicious & very rich in flavor, also good breakfast sandwiches & friendly & fast service

I love this local coffee shop! Very friendly staff, clean and cozy atmosphere, outside and indoor seating. Service has always been great! There are a Variety of coffee and dessert options on the menu! Support your local business!

This is honestly one of the best cafes in the city!I’ve been going there for over a year now and have always had a great experience. The service is wonderful and the coffee and food are even better.I recommend the chocolate croissants!

Got the red velvet iced latte, it was very flavorful, and was refreshing! Definitely would come again to try another flavor.

This adorable little espresso room made my day! Only in town for two days, I live 5 hours away and I will definitely be driving back to Lancaster exclusively to visit Aura again! The REAL pumpkin latte was beyond amazing! Espresso was high quality, balanced, and professionally brewed. What I love most about this business is that they are unique and have home recipes that are healthy and delicious. The majority of their drinks and treats are not made with all that gross refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup- instead, HONEY! So much better for you. They do offer the usual sugary stuff so that everyone can have exactly what they are looking for, but their specialty/seasonal drinks are REAL. Not something you see very often! Their snacks are fresh and well made, especially the honey cookies that are made by the owners Grandma! The Baklava was unreal, and the little spinach pies were toasty, buttery, magic. Our barista, Olivia, was sweet as can be and we had great chats about specialty coffee with her and the owner. They took great care of us and were so polite and friendly. I loved the beautiful little rustic room, and that they have the option to order through the window from the street. I wish we had Aura where I live!! I would be in the store every day!! Thank you George and Olivia!

Super delicious drinks made by talented baristas (George and Tina) using Lavazza coffee exclusively. If you love Italian coffee thats the place to go. P.S. try their Freddo iced cappuccino drink. Its a special house drink made with two shots of espresso.

I visit several times a week because the coffee is the best around. Their homemade pastries are delicious and fresh. I often send clients to Aura if theyre asking about coffee nearby. I will always recommend Aura.

Whether sitting down with a friend or making a quick stop for an order to go, Aura offers an ideal experience of excellent espresso and pasteries paired with lovely chats and aesthetics. George, Tina, and their staff provide outstanding service and are perceptive and kind. Aura is the top choice of my family and friends when they return to Lancaster for a visit. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but be sure to try the Turmeric Latte or treat yourself to an affogato.A consistent, five-star experience with great prices and menu variety. Highly recommended!

A true Barista, cultured and quite skilled! Highly recommended!

Friendly staff. Great location to grab a cup of your favorite beverage to go, or to take a break from the day and enjoy an espresso outside on a sunny day. Especially recommend the Greek Honey Cookies if theyre on the shelf that day!

Great small business downtown! Always friendly staff and great suggestions when trying something new!

I bring my dog here a lot, since you can order at the window outside- so he can get his walk and I can get my coffee 😁 The owners are super nice and I really love their espresso drinks, chai and pastries. It’s not listed on their website, but they also have a few delicious breakfast sandwiches! 👍

One of the best locations to get coffee in Lancaster City! Coffee and baked goods are great and the service is even better! I highly recommend checking out either of their locations.

This place has very good drinks and the people working there are wonderful! So friendly and nice.

Nestled charmingly on N . Queen St. you’ll find this European influenced gem of a coffee shop / Espresso room . I’ve been a patron of Aura for the last few years and believe me, you won’t find a better coffee shop in town . You can order from the street side walk up window or enjoy your brew in their cute little espresso room inside . In addition to their array of coffee choices, they offer items for breakfast and lunch . The pastries are over the top sublime and many are homemade from family recipes . From the warm and knowledgeable staff and owners, who great me everyday w a smile, Thank you ! Do yourself a favor and stop by and check them out . I highly recommend it !

Beautiful little coffee shop with friendly service and delicious Espresso Macchiato

I love coming here every day for coffee with my coworkers! The coffee is great, so are the specialty drinks. Tina is the best!

When my favorite coffee place on Queen Street closed, I decided to try Aura. Its now my regular stop for coffee.George and Tina are friendly, and make great coffee. Also, they have some amazing pastries (go early on Tuesdays for the freshest and best selection!), fresh fruit, and some tasty international treats. Selections change regularly. If you see something you want to try, get it right away or you might miss out.The coffee selection is broad. My personal favorites are the white chocolate mocha latte and the cappuccino. There are some different offerings as well, including a lavender latte, and another with tumeric.I love the walk-up window in the nice weather. When its cold, its nice to walk in and warm up a little on my way to the office. Dont let the size of the shop fool you - theres a lot to discover at Aura!

Was in town for a convention and the convention coffee was terrible. I needed a good cup of coffee and this quaint shop was on my way to the convention center. Great people, amazing service, and delicious coffee. If I lived locally, this would definitely be my regular coffee shop.

There is simply no other place to go in Lancaster for coffee. George, Tina and Ron master the artform. This is the closest thing to real European styling for coffee drinks.

This place is amazing. Delicious coffee and espresso. The pumpkin latte is amazing, not too sweet, just perfect with their homemade pumpkin syrup!

Extremely great customer service, great local coffee shop. Love the vibe! Would recomend this place to anyone in the city looking for a nice coffee shop!

Ordered them from DoorDash. Havent had anything from here before but I definitely plan on getting something from here as often as possible. The mocha I got was perfect, I had a problem with my boyfriend trying to steal it from me after he tried a small sip of it. The banana bread was delicious. The gelato was so amazing also. My boyfriend got pistachio and it has little pistachio pieces which he loved and said made the gelato even better. I ordered the chocolate and even though they ran out it wasnt a big deal. It was so cute and I really appreciated the little note that they sent apologizing and just letting me know they ran out and included some vanilla. It was all so good and like I said above, Ill definitely be ordering from them again.

The best coffee shop in Lancaster! Hand crafted coffee lattes and a great atmosphere to grab coffee to go or relax in the café. Best espresso in town!

This quaint coffee shop with a street window and indoor seating option has yummy lattes, homemade treats, and gelato!! The staff is friendly and welcoming! I have a frequent flyer card to get punched each time I go!

Owners are so nice! I stop by once in a while on my way to work and am always satisfied with their drinks and baked goods.

This business promised to give donated funds from a gofundme campaign to Covid 19 first responders and medical personnel. They took took at least some of the money (it is still unclear) to the police, and then deleted the post. The new post on the page shows them giving money to other orgs, but still people did not expect police to receive any funds. This was a betrayal of their customer’s trust, and they have yet to answer any questions about their behavior. They deleted comments on the original instagram post and deleted their Facebook page. They are pointing fingers, lying, and dodging accountability. Do not support this business. There are many more coffee shops in Lancaster City.

The go-to place for coffee, best in Lancaster. They serve a lot of drinks my millennial daughter loves, but I just go for the latte.

Best tasting coff in Lanc ☺️☺️

Great service, great people, excellent drinks. I choose Aura over the corporate competitor (less than 70 feet away) everyday!

Excellent service! The drinks and food are both delicious. Its our Sunday morning routine.

They remember what I kind of coffee I drink. Very friendly at window. Cant wait to have time to stop inside and eat something.

I always drop in at aura before work, they’re muffins and drinks are out of this world 🥰🙌🏾

The coffee is delicious. The matcha lavender latte is perfect both flavors match so well together especially if it’s hot but you can do it iced which is also good.

Charming and noteworthy little coffee shop, friendly people, great place to work, extraordinary coffee, and some unique and original drinks. Healthy options. Definitely stop in and try a delicious blue Majik latte and some baklava!!

Best coffee ive ever had

What a treasure of a cafe! It may be tiny, but I absolutely adored this place. The owner was very warm and personable. My Nutella latte was delicious and Im excited to go back!

Our favorite spot to go on fridays💪🏼🙌🏼👍

Wonderful cafe! Staff was so pleasant! Drinks were delicious and the breakfast sandwiches were outstanding!

Sumptuous and simply elegant at the same time. George has a way of making you feel like you are on an island in Greece.. The coffee is amazing. Try the Lavender Latte!

A hidden jem!

Great coffee...all the time...and Awesome Aegean sandwich...thank you George, Tina, and Ronnie!!!!

Always friendly and always affordable best place around

There cold coffee selection is amazing

A refreshing experience that is to only be outdone by their top quality drinks.

Love this little unique place!! Great lattes.. and pastries!!😋

Incredibly surprised and impressed by the craftsmanship included in each espresso drink from this shop. It is a MUST-visit in downtown Lancaster. With a swarm of coffee locations to choose from, this stands out because of the care and quality put into each drink and each interaction with every customer. Bravo!

Hot chocolate wishes it could be a Nutellino, and the Gelato is real Gelato :DDelicious, and friendly service.The Aegean bagel sounded fantastic also, will probably try next time.

Quality service with that at home touch. Serving fresh brewed LavAzza. Tourin, Italys Finest coffee since 1895. Locally known as,The Place To Go for delicious espresso, coffee, sandwiches and Yayas homemade cookies and pastries. Dont forget to ask gor your loyalty card. Not just coffee to go but coffee with an experince to leave with.

Very good espresso. Amazing 100% fruit smoothies. Owner runs the place himself and provides outstanding service. Do yourself a favor and stop by!
